BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Descriptionof Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and1.98.

The disclosure and prior art relates to washing devices and moreparticularly pertains to a new washing device for inhibiting a bar ofsoap from being dropped during bathing.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a glove that is worn for bathing. A pocket iscoupled to the glove to receive a bar of soap for bathing. The pocketretains the bar of soap on the glove to inhibit the bar of soap frombeing dropped during bathing.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a bottom perspective view of a body washing assembly accordingto an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a left view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 5 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new washing device embodying the principles and concepts ofan embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the body washing assembly 10generally comprises a glove 12 that is selectively worn on a hand duringbathing. The glove 12 has a palm portion 14, a plurality of fingers 16and thumb 18. The palm portion 14 has a first surface 20 and the firstsurface 20 is aligned with a palm of the hand when the glove 12 is worn.The palm portion 14 has a first end 22 and the first end 22 is open toreceive the hand. The glove 12 is comprised of a fluid permeablematerial such as terry cloth or the like.

A pocket 24 is coupled to the glove 12 and the pocket 24 receives a barof soap 26 for bathing. The pocket 24 retains the bar of soap 26 on theglove 12 thereby inhibiting the bar of soap 26 from being dropped duringbathing. The pocket 24 has a peripheral edge 28 and the peripheral edge28 has a top side 30. Moreover, the peripheral edge 28 is coupled to thefirst surface 20 of the palm portion 14. The top side 30 is spaced fromthe palm portion 14 to define an opening 32 into the pocket 24 forreceiving the bar of soap 26. The bar of soap 26 may be body soap forbathing or the like.

An elastic band 34 is coupled to the pocket 24 and the elastic band 34is coextensive with the top side 30. The elastic band 34 biases the topside 30 to close the opening 32 thereby retaining the bar of soap 26 inthe pocket 24. A drawstring 36 is movably coupled to the glove 12. Thedrawstring 36 is selectively manipulated thereby facilitating the glove12 to be secured to the hand. The drawstring 36 is positioned around thefirst end 22 of the palm portion 14 to close the first end 22 around onthe hand.

In use, the glove 12 is worn for bathing in the drawstring 36 ismanipulated to tighten the glove 12 on the hand. The bar of soap 26 isinserted into the pocket 24 in the elastic band 34 retains the bar ofsoap 26 in the pocket 24. The glove 12 is exposed to water duringbathing thereby facilitating the bar of soap 26 to create a lather. Inthis way the glove 12 facilitates bathing while inhibiting the bar ofsoap 26 from being dropped.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.

1. A body washing assembly being configured to be worn on a hand thereby facilitating bathing, said assembly comprising: a glove being configured to be worn, said glove having a palm portion, a plurality of fingers and thumb, said palm portion having a first surface wherein said first surface is configured to be aligned with the palm of a hand when said glove is worn, said palm portion having a first end, said first end being open wherein said first end is configured to receive the hand; and a pocket being coupled to said glove wherein said pocket is configured to receive a bar of soap for bathing, said pocket being configured for retaining the bar of soap on said glove wherein said pocket is configured to inhibit the bar of soap from being dropped during bathing, said pocket having a peripheral edge said peripheral edge having a top side, said top side facing said fingers of said glove, said peripheral edge being coupled to said first surface of said palm portion, said top side being spaced from said palm portion to define an opening into said pocket facing said fingers of said glove and wherein said opening is configured to receive the bar of soap.
